about me

hello! my name is Ashley, i live in hicksville, usa [otherwise known as central FL], i'm 30 years old. i write, confiscate, collect, and daydream.

.currently.

i have a few different projects going on right now!

1-my main zine, which i focus most of the time on, is my fairy tale zine, agnes briggs. right now i am working on issue #2. it's a loooong time coming; i had 2 fairy tale stories that were going to be in the same zine because they complimented each other so well, but the first story ended up being so long i decided it was good enough to stand on its own. anyway, i had been writing this story for nearly a year, and i finally finished it recently. now that the content is finished i'm in the process of collaborating with a friend who's a talented artist for the illustrations within the zine. it should be ready soon, i hope! featured stuff: shrinking girls, rivers that look like rainbows, and immortality. oooh.

2-i also just finished a new zine called summer 1998. it's my first attempt at a non-fiction perzine. it's small and i finished it over a weekend, but i'm proud of how it came out. it mostly has to do with my strict upbringing as a Jehovah's Witness - and there's a little teenage romance thrown in there, too!

-----------------------

if you are interested in trading zines, LET ME KNOW! i'm interested in all kinds of zines, but especially anything like imaginative short stories, art, fairy tales and zines to do with life-altering personal experiences.

Hi Ashley! If you are willing to trade, I would love to get either your Inspired zine or the Summer 1998 issue. If there is anything of mine you would like to trade for, let me know! nichole[at]illvision.net

Aww, thank you so much! I’m really glad that you enjoyed them :)
I’m still totally interested in collaborating, so please feel free to contact me when you’re up to working on a new fairytale zine.
Yes, we should absolutely trade again! I’m working on two zines at the moment which should hopefully be finished sometime soon.

this is the only zine that will never be open for distribution. it's a short story valentine i made for my boyfriend for valentine's day 2012. it's also the shortest short story i've ever written, hehe. it's a fairy tale story based loosely on us.…

"yes, we do have a bit in common. to name a few: holly golightly [that's one of my favorite movies of all time :)], alice in wonderland, and of course our love for snail mail. plus, i hate makeup. hehe."
